Q. Is there a device in the library where I could scan a document and it saves it as a Word file so I could edit the text?

Yes, the library has what we call the BookScan Stations near the printers on the main floor of the library.

You can scan anything, select the settings which will OCR the text for you, and email the resulting file to yourself. Once you download and save the file to your My Documents folder, you can then select the text you want, copy it and paste into a new document.
